Three things I will do to get better in math and teaching math before field placement are as follows:

1.I will ask my host teacher what the students will be learning, from January to May in math, and I will familiarize myself with the subjects and prepare information and lessons to teach before hand to become comfortable with them.

2. I will use technology to explore helpful math sites that include math subjects that i will be teaching during student teaching.These site will also be helpful to supplement my students learning.

3. Lastly I will work with other students and teachers to ask questions and become more confident in math which in turn will help me teach math.
